beadData: Object of class 'beadData-class'

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     A graph of a boxplot of QC measures is produced.  The function
     compares QC values for the current beadData and beadQC objects to
     QC values from previous run analyses that have been stored in the
     log file (qc).  The function is similar to 'dotplotArrays' except
     that the data is plotted as a box plot rather than a dot plot. 
     This function is the choice where the number of previous analyses
     in the log file is large.
